And while "warui" its self is a neutral phrase, in actual application, it tends to be the men who use it. Also, isn't "warui zo" just a statement rather than an apology o.0

I imagine "warui zo!" to be something close to "Well excuse me!" in English. Like I said, it sounds highly sarcastic, so chances are the speaker has no intent on feeling sorry for doing anything.

I didn't mention this, but I find most phrases like this with gobi to be conjugated to the past tense. So in reality, most girls say "warukatta zo". Semantically, I think this makes more sense (with any apology statement, in fact), because the action has already been committed.

Comparing this phrase to the masculine "Warii na!", then you're right - they DO have different usages.

My point, I guess, is that people should stop confining terms like this as simply "I'm sorry". They can mean so many different things depending on context, and the feminine "warui zo" is proof of that.

As for the weeabo thing... If you can image a person who watches too much J-dorama/anime, likes inserting random japanese words into their sentence, insists on calling their lunch box a "bentou" and obtains nutrition primarily through pocky and cup noodles - then you have yourself a weeabo. They also have a penchant for insulting fan subbers, saying that their translations "aren't faithful to blah blah blah", and they have this strange belief that they understand what they're watching IN SPITE of the subtitles.

Soon as you add "zo" to any thing it makes you sound, "erasou" (I only use this because of a lack of an english word for it)
Obvious examples of this are "Kore wa boku no dazo" and "Itai me ni auzo!". I agree that the only time I'v heard women use it are when they are being sarcastic. However, I belive that your use of "Warui zo" is wrong. "warui zo", transalated is "that was bad", as a statement and is never used as an apology.

I apologize in advance for the lack of grammar above, but I'm not used to using this laptop, and the buttons are in funny places :/

Also on the weeaboo topic:
Haha, I actually no a few people like that in real life He came into school saying he can write his name in japanese, and wrote those boxes you get when your computer can't read kanji XD

That's precisely the point. The gobi "zo", in itself, is highly volatile in speech, and most girls I know just slap it anywhere and everywhere - regardless of whether or not it sounds correct. The reason I brought up the gobi in the first place was because we were talking about "warui" and how it is only used by boys - but I used the "zo" gobi to show that it can be a feminine statement, as well.

I'm getting a bit peeved at how convoluted these discussions are getting, so I won't comment any further. Regardless, I think I've made my point.

Lol fair enough. ?I obviously misunderstood what you were trying to say, and for that I apologize :/
